Great Tournament and lots of fun. Can guarantee our team will be there again, same as previous years. Guys if y'all are looking for a good tournament to start out the New year off with, this is it! Even if you don't win the tournament there are plenty of real good prizes in the drawings and the payouts if you win the tournament, believe me, I think you would be happy with the payouts that I've seen from prev. years.

ok dates work out better now, cant believe fox are worth more than a yote though

buck718
Where about lee county you from?

Hope everyone's ready, Gonna be another good one. Just hope the weather pans out!

One week away, weathers gonna be good.
I'm trying to donate this year $500 to local scholarship, and $1000 to Hunt for Heroes.

Are you gonna take it out of the pot???

WFO will be there

Talked to devil_dawg and the donations will be from the different raffles that are there not from the pot.

Best tournament by far!! If you've never done this one guys you need 2!! Hats off to those guys and all the work they put into the hunt!!!!!! I'll be back next year.

How did y'all do chewybmt and foxtrot??

Great tourney. We had a blast.

Only turned in 1 yote. I can tell you one thing, if we could shoot, we would have been in the $$$.

Ive never seen so many misses in my life. We saw over 50 yotes. Between misses, not being ready, and spotlight malfunction we should have done better.

We landed a new property with over 8000 acres and plenty of dogs on it. It has never been hunted for anything. We called in 15 yotes defore dark. We had 2 that nearly ran us over. It was crazy...both sets we were watching a dog work in from about 300 yds out and next thing you know another one blows by 100mph and dang near trips over our feet. It was insane.

So lessons learned.
1)Be more prepared to shoot and carry a shotgun
2) make sure we have plenty of batteries for spotlight
3) Bring more food for ourselves
4) get plenty of rest before the tourney.

This was our 1st tourney to enter and we will be back next year and plan on winning it next year.

Dang it!

Just saw this, will be watching for next years, this is just up the road too. Dang.

Ha FoxTrot sounds like y'all had a good time, we too only turned in one yote. Our first call after dark had a fox and a yote come in at the same time and guess what, didn't get either lol. Fox came around the brush we were next to and couldn't get a shot on it, then the yote was a little farther out and stopped broadsided, pretty shot but missed it with both shots lol. Curt your missing a good time, the tournament is still growing. We had 117 teams last year and 121 teams this year. Although this was the first year that they shut hwy 77 down for us to pull out though, which made it nice. Ready for next year already!!

We did just about as bad as you can. They pay 5 places and we end up 6th.

Ouch that one hurt, Y'all from the Lexington area or from a ways off? Heard some teams drove several hours just to hunt this tournament.
